we are so sad and disappointed for our girls.
poor decision making on coach shoji’s part, lelepali served
4 times lost 4 critical points, 2 service errors and 2 miserable attempts at defense. why not use ginger long or kristina kam? are we the only fans that think dave is unable to make good decisions when under tremendous pressure, he lost the 4th game by putting in lelepali . he had a great starting line up won the first and 3rd games -not rocket science at this point. shoji is unable to coach a talented team past the first round, simply said. shoji substitutes more than any other coach in any game. the team cant keep their rhythm going. UH has 2 talented assistant coaches use them!!! the girls did a great job despite their poor coaching. next year same story- we can only hope-not….

Not true. They made the regional semifinal last year. in a stacked regional worthy of the final four.
they made the final four in 2009.
And he doesn’t sub more than anyone. Many teams run a 6-2 and that requires a lot of subbing.
It’s not like Lelepali hasn’t been in the serving rotation before. It’s just that her 2 SEs were critical. She also had an ace.
He did use long. And she had 2 SEs.
And he used all 15 of the players he had available. Kam didn’t make the trip.
They had 11 SEs. 2 each by Long, Lelepali, Maeda, Hartong, Croson, 1 by Longo.
and 3 aces 1 each by Lelepali, Croson, Maeda
